"Evening Commute 1:" As I was shooting the sunset, I noticed some black birds flying together above the boulders. I quickly adjusted my camera settings to capture them. This photo and the following are taken minutes apart, with 2 different groups of birds flying across the view.
It's getting foggy in the morning at the river Elbe again. Feels wonderful cycling through shoulder-high mist 😍
Got idea for this shot from somebody else on Flickr but I'm blanking on who it was. Thanks for the inspiration, whoever you were!
As one train leave Toronto Union Station, the other one queue to enter, as both train meet right under the Barthurst Street Bridge.
Most people, when thinking about how people get around here, say LA is the land of cars and freeways. And yes, there are plenty of both. Just in my small part of the urban jungle, I am surrounded by the 101, the 170, the 134 and the 5. (Prefixing freeway names with "the" is a Californian thing) Anyhow, there are other ways than freeways to get around. There's the light-rail/subway system, Metro. I use the Metro to travel to downtown LA and do photowalks. My photostream has a video, DTLA, which documents one such walk. Then there's the heavy rail commuter train system, MetroLink. The photo is the Burbank MetroLink station, which I pass over daily doing my own commute, walking (and usually with a camera). I suppose that makes it a liminal space, in a way. One of these days I'll have to catch the MetroLink and see where it goes and who rides. I'll bring my kit. :)

In 1989 I was living in Alameda, California and commuting to San Francisco by bus. When the Loma Prieta earthquake shut down the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge a new ferry service became my commute. This photo is a dawn scene from the ferry in the Oakland Estuary after leaving Alameda, showing a tugboat and the massive cranes at the Port of Oakland. This is a scan from an old Kodachrome slide.
Hunters returning from a long day/night at work. Taken around midnight when the sun is nearing it's lowest point, giving the most beautiful pink hues.
To escape the Porter Square subway station you have to traverse two average and one very very long escalator. I was bored and amusing myself. The camera does interesting things in low light when there's movement. These are some of the results.
To comMUTE in screwedCITY doesn't mean to travel some distance between one's home and place of work on a regular basis – it actually means to travel huge distance within screwedCITY limits, (which is extremely huge) around places located somewhere in between one's home and place of work on a regular basis just for the sake of being surrounded by mute fellow citizens on low public transport fare. Most members of screwedCITY middle and upper class prefer this activity more than after-work parties, while many prestigious law firms take comMUTE as a cheap replacement for team-building.
This is classic screwedCITY – comMUTErs on McCullough's grandiose Turnstile Plateau waiting for a bus or train from there to somewhere and in-between...
Being an early commuter myself this given morning - I was looking for that individual in context with the light the framing to show the journey.
